Cubs Star Kyle Tucker Has Outperformed Pete Crow-Armstrong in One Key Metric

The Chicago Cubs are in a fortunate position with their lineup, having two bona fide stars anchoring it with center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and right fielder Kyle Tucker.

Tucker was the biggest acquisition of the offseason, brought in via trade with the Houston Astros in exchange for third baseman Isaac Paredes, pitcher Hayden Wesneski and star prospect Cam Smith.

It was a steep price to pay, but the impact a player of his caliber could have on the lineup is exactly what the Cubs were looking for.

Tucker is stuffing the stat sheet with 13 home runs, 15 doubles, three triples, 43 RBI and 18 stolen bases.

Crow-Armstrong has been the talk of the baseball world with his breakout performance in 2025.

In many regards, he has been the team MVP, leading the way with an eye-popping 4.3 bWAR, which is tops in the National League.
